Milky Way: VALLENA's
Chapter 13: The Mysterious Man

Back to the present, 2013

Lidya's mother leaves Lena's house. He understood what Lena had suffered. He did not expect that the little girl he had once cared for like his own son would soon die. On the way home, Lidya's mother had seen her son Vall sitting as usual on the riverbank.

In the heart of this middle-aged mother, she felt that everything her son had done so far was for nothing. It would only make her suffer even more later if she knew what Lena was facing at the moment.

Lidya's mother's gaze turned towards Lena's house not far from her. He saw Lena behind the window staring at Vall from a distance.

“whatever, do what you think is best. I can only hope you guys get more happiness before death fetch”

...****************...

At the train station a security carriage forcibly lowered a homeless man in a punk style. The tramp was pushed to the point of falling.

“you said you want to go to the garbage village right?! Exit the gate follow the path to the north!. Don't come back here pig!” snarled the security officer

“name's GIN. I got this name from an angel in the woods! Not a pig!” reply to that dirty man.

Gin also stepped out following the instructions of security earlier towards the garbage village. Some of the people who passed him also hurriedly closed his nose. I don't know how long this guy named Gin hasn't had a bath. He looks stupid and enjoys everything about his life. Even she whistled seductively as some sexy women passed by.

Gin stopped his steps for a moment, he felt a bit of happiness. His face was smiling considering that some houses and buildings were still the same as 20 years ago. He ran to the rubbish village. As soon as the front of the village trash, he was confused. The village that was once dirty and shabby became a beautiful and beautiful village. Many times he thought and scratched his head.

“is this a garbage village?!” gin shouted attracting the attention of several people around him

“right, this is garbage village” replied Lena behind him.

Gin was shocked and jumped a few steps back. Both his hands put the horse on hold.

“away you devil!” said Gin “show your true form, there can't be a beautiful woman who wants to approach me!” continued Gin.

“get aside you are blocking the way” Lena told Gin as some people lifted a piece of writing from the iron that would be installed on top of the gate of the garbage village.

Gin's reaction changed when he saw the writing he wanted to put on it that read MILKY WAY.

“remove that far!!” gin snapped at everyone.

Gin slammed the writing tightly until it was crooked and loud to attract everyone's attention. Gin took out a few large stones and slammed them written over and over again to break them. Even he unintentionally slammed the fat man beside him like he was slamming a rock. Gin looks raging. Lena also did not remain silent. In the end, Gin's hand was still holding the stone.

“what are you doing?” lena said emotion

Gin felt a little familiar with the beautiful woman before him, even to be sure, Gin tore the cloth on Lena's wrist. And it turns out to be true, there is a letter sign “L”

Seeing Gin's behavior, Lena realized that this man before her was the one who knew about her origin.

“you're the one who dumped me here 20 years ago?”

Lena clenched her grip. Gin's face was still confused. Many times Lena hit him with all her might, but Gin stayed still and fell to the ground. Lena didn't stop to keep beating him.

“dump me? Why not just kill me!” snapped Lena

Gin held Lena by the hand and she did not avoid it when Lena's other hand hit her jaw. As blood begins to flow on Gin's lips, Lena tries to hold back her emotions.

“you don't remember it, how can you accuse me of throwing you away? I just ran you from death. And I'm not the one who should be responsible for whatever happens to you” explained Gin. “your mother told me to take you. And that writing is the cursed word that ruined your mother's life!” point Gin at MILKY WAY

...****************...

Gin and Vall sit together eating every meal available at Lena's house. Not far away from them, a pair of suspicious eyes and emotions continued to stare at Gin as if he was still not satisfied to hit him.

“what good am I until that woman keeps looking at me?” whispered Gin to Vall beside him

“I think you suffer from Erotomania parah” replied vall.

“what is it?” ask Gin

“i have no obligation to answer, right?” ask Vall

Gin who was still curious suddenly changed the color of his emotions. He hit Vall's head many times. But Vall was silent because he was like an undead.

“you boy, you used to look glowing with passion. Looks from your gaze used to be full of confidence with anything. But look now, you can't even keep your own condition. How could I have been so stupid to leave that kid to you?”

Gin's words made Vall worse. Vall lowered his face and did not continue eating. He knew all of this was his fault. What happened to Lena was the result of her mistake.

Gin's hand that was still hitting Vall's head was held by Lena. Looks lena does not show angry face, but more looks sad face.

“is it wrong if I want to know my origin? My family? And everything that happened to them. I don't even remember what the Milky Way is?”

“heard boy, I had promised your mother to take you away from the temple if she was so desperate, she also allowed me to kill you. Whatever he chose was probably a mistake. I used to think it was crazy. But since understanding what the Milky way is and the letter L sign in your hand, you better not be born in this world” Gin's speech feels more intimidating. It made Lena a little silent.

“but maybe I can tell you everything if I can stay here and eat as much” continued Gin with a carefree smile and style as cute as possible.

“I would love to beat you up, but I'm too tired today” lena complained.

Lena left them to her room. Look Lena's condition is less healthy than her beautiful footsteps. Gin who saw Vall put his head on the table tried to approach him slowly. Vall sees Lena walking away from him. Vall stared longingly. Like trying to accomplish something he'll never get.

“you want to follow him to the room?” ask Gin

Vall fell silent and closed his eyes. In his heart he was still thinking about the events of ten years ago. Where she awoke from her sleep, she found Lena and Moon in front of her house. He also faintly recalled that he was sleeping with Lena at the time, but he hesitated, whether it was Lena or the Moon. Since then, the moon has never been seen again. I don't know where the Moon is now, Vall hopes the Moon is okay.

Vall's gaze was diverted to Gin who always paid attention to him. Gin's eyes looked at him like they were full of suspicion. Makes Vall feel a little uncomfortable.

“i smell the blood from you. Look boy, I don't care what you do. But if it could harm Lena, I swear I'd make you regret it” Gin said

“you can try it” replied Vall

“quite a lot of the meat you made to rot. But I doubt that you can do this again after this”

Without a word, Vall directly smashed his fist towards the face of Gin. gin who felt over control easily dodging all of Vall's punches that felt like a child before him. Even Gin easily aimed Vall's punch towards the big tree firmly.

Gin watched closely as Vall's blow landed hard on the tree, leaving Vall's hand wounded and bleeding. But strangely there is no slight change in the look of Vall's face. However strong a person may be, if some of his limbs are injured it will give some general symptoms of pain from the look on his face.

Gin begins to reply Vall with a single blow to Vall's shoulder, causing the young man to fall and bend his knee in front of Gin at the same time, Gin starts to hit Vall in the face with a little force. Fresh blood dripped on Vall's lips but Gin did not see Vall in pain.

Curious, Gin hit him harder and hit him again several times until Vall fell to the ground.

“why don't you feel pain?” ask Gin

Vall got up and stood right in front of Gin's burly body.

“that's because you're weak”

Gin who felt like he was on the fishing line started pulling Vall's neck and banging him towards the big tree. Not yet had Vall take a step and position properly, Gin immediately hit the heart of Vall bertubi tubi with both hands. Gin's hard punch made the tree on Vall's back vibrate violently, causing some dried leaves to fall.

And once again, Gin was astonished by Vall's attitude that seemed to feel no pain.

“you have abnormality”

“congenital analgesia” replied Vall

Instantly Vall's answer made Gin feel angry and his emotions immediately exploded

“then why did I hit you from earlier son of a bitch!!”

...****************...

Lena woke up from her sleep, her body felt very weak. Slowly she set her beautiful foot into the kitchen. At the same time, there were a few small sounds in the kitchen. Lena also smelled a very good aroma. Makes his appetite and hunger go up.

“you're awake? Sorry I borrowed some of your cookware. Too bad some of this good furniture like never in use” said Nina

"your apology does not show that this has been your daily activities" said Lena

Nina's sweet smile was so bright in Lena's eyes. Lena who saw Nina every day cooking for her felt a little embarrassed. Lena doesn't really understand cooking. It is very different from the young girl in front of him who is so good at cooking and behaves like a woman in general. Nina is now 16 years old. He grew up to be almost perfect for a girl his age. Her face was beautiful, her behavior was polite and kind. Even he paid more attention to every condition that Lena experienced.

With a carefree heart, Nina prepared some warm food that she had just cooked on the dining table. Not only that, Nina also prepared a chair for Lena to sit in.

“thank you for the food” said Lena slowly while looking down lethargic.

“sister condition is getting worse, should I take you to the hospital?”

“no need, this is common. Tomorrow also recover”

Lena did not want to tell about the illness. He could only try to put in more effort to look good in front of everyone.

“what about the rehabilitation process that you run?”

“already many years, quite satisfying. Now I am much more able to overcome my addiction”

“how about them? The cartel members who tied the sister. If you want, I can ask my mom for help. Trust me, my mother was quite expected. If it was just such a matter, for my mother it would not be difficult. And I tell you a little secret. The three of us are not alone. My mom has 3 protective knights”

Nina's explanation made Lena trust her a little even though it was like the silly words of a delusion. But Lena couldn't argue that Lyra wasn't an ordinary woman. There are many oddities that are even difficult to explain logically.

“do not do anything, I do not want to add more problems. Those cartel members aren't exactly bad guys either. Many of them are people who are forced to follow the orders of his superiors”

Lena sees Nina also preparing a chair and some food for Vall. Although Vall is invisible, somehow Nina seems to have an extraordinary instinct for the arrival of Vall.

Not long after, the door opened. Gin appears who comes with a thought of dancing like a man who has no burden of life. Followed by Vall who walked behind him with a bruised face.

Gin was leisurely sitting on the chair with Nina and Lena. Without saying a word, Gin directly devoured the food on the table with his dirty hands. Maybe this is how Gin's habits as a punk man on the streets.

“this girl prepares dishes for Vall, how dare you dirty my table!” snapped Lena

“hei son of a bitch, do you mind if I eat this?” gin asked Vall who was at the door of his room.

“no” replied Vall quietly while opening the door of his room.

Vall seems to obey Gin more than when talking to Lena. Somehow Lena felt like Vall had Gin under control so easily.

“what did you do to Vall?” ask Lena

“hei boy, say something. Your woman is like trying to kill me!”

“dia beat me” replied Vall from inside the room

Lena who was angry and indeed before she had felt very upset with this man named Gin. Some of Gin's hair was pulled out of his scalp.

“i don't even remember letting you into my house. How dare you hurt him!”

“at least I've saved you”

“you dumped me savage pig”

Nina who saw their quarrel like there was a little bit of happiness and envy. Although from the outside they look snapping at each other and angry, but there is a sense of responsibility in each other. They were like a family to Nina.

The emotional tension on Lena's face looked like it was starting to change. She felt Gin watching her more gently.

“apa?”

“your mother, there is your mother's face in you” said Gin

As soon as Lena melted, Gin silently grabbed a few pieces of meat on Lena's plate with her finger.

“you dirty my food!”
